Bandag launches Hotread mould-cured retreaded tyre range

In a significant development building on the retreading brand’s pre-cure heritage, Bridgestone-owned Bandag is expanding its portfolio of mould-cured retread activities with the launch of Bandag Hotread.

With the launch of Hotread, Bandag will now offer both pre-cured and mould-cured retreads product solutions.

Additionally, they will feature the new Bandag sidewall design, ensuring the tyres have a “look-like-new appearance”.
